The woman, who is anonymous to protect her identity, is now slowly starting again after Falder effectively destroyed "all relationships" in her old life, with his total abuse of her trust.

She was first approached by Cambridge graduate Falder on Gumtree after posting an advertisement as a babysitter to earn money, while studying for exams.

Arrested

Falder, from Birmingham, posed as a depressed female artist called "Liz", then duped her into sending nude images which he would use as "tasteful" illustrations.

But as soon as she sent images, Falder's manner changed from "nice" to "threatening" as he sprang a trap on the then schoolgirl, which he came to repeat on his other hapless victims - many of them teenagers.

In the space of two months, he had blackmailed the girl over the internet into sending pictures of herself licking toilet seats, a loo brush, and a used tampon.

Dr Matthew Falder, 28.

Speaking anonymously, the girl, who first physically met Falder when he appeared in the dock of Birmingham Crown Court for his crimes, said: "It was messages every day, so it felt like forever."

She added: "Every day when I woke up, there would be a message.

"When I came home from school, there would be a message."

She said: "When I wasn't actually talking to him, I was worried about when the next message was going to come through."

At school she could not concentrate and was "scared" to go out or risk meeting her tormentor, more still "ashamed" for what she was being forced to do.
